Cirque du Soleil thrills Beijing with new show

Cirque du Soleil is now in Beijing with Kooza, after a successful tour in Shanghai.

Kooza, which will run in the capital till Feb 11, premiered in 2007 and is a return to the Canadian entertainment company's origins. The show combines the circus traditions of acrobatics and clowning.

"It's about human connection and the world of duality - good and bad," the show's writer and director David Shiner says.
